Kasparov is a great Chess champ! But because of him, Chess body was split. The man who worked for unification won!

"Kasparov defeated by Filatov" would be a more appropriate title. Kirsan is nothing more than a corrupt sockpuppet.

Who wouldn't want to be a corrupt sockpuppet for a billionaire? It's great work if you can get it.

The main problem with being a sockpuppet is the handler has his hand up your a55 all the time.

I, personally, think Kasparov would have been a better FIDE president. Illyumshinkov has served his term, now he should hand over the torch to someone with more knowledge of the actual game.

Agree.

Kasparov knows chess.

Kirsan knows Russian politics& media.

i think its a tie. 50:50.

another factor what decided the votes could be

The team of Kasparov's (financial) supporters. . .
